Chapter 16

Kaia's POV

“You have this smile on your face and I'm not even saying anything funny. You're thinking about Alpha, right?" Dani asked, wiggling her eyebrow suggestively.

“Maybe." I sang, skipping to the other side of the table to help the children who were failing at their attempt of designing a cookie.

She exclaimed excitedly, “I knew it!”

Ever since the day in Kieran’s office, I found myself wanting more, to be held, touched and just be with him. At first, he was busy with training and then meetings but he was always around for dinner which I appreciated as I've always hated eating alone.

Lylah managed to get to me and I started to believe that Kieran was being sincere not playing the long game.

My relationship with Dani and Ryder also became better. I found myself coming out of my shell every day and the smile I thought I'd lost a long time ago was slowly returning.

“Luna, do mine." Freya said, jumping happily as she pushed her cookies towards me

    Chapter 17Kaia's POV “Get your hands off my mate!" Lylah growled, coming to the surface. Both Kieran and the woman froze before turning to me. The girl couldn't be any older than I am, with a slender build and blonde hair which framed her heart shaped face. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she took a step back, releasing Kieran from her hug. “It's not what you think, Luna." she said, her voice filled with genuine apology. Kieran's expression turned sheepish, and he rubbed the back of his neck. "Allie just arrived, she wanted to see you.” he explained, his eyes locked on mine. That didn't make any sense, so I waited for him to tell me who this ‘Allie’ girl was before I went all crazy on them. “I'm his sister," she said, and I felt a wave of relief wash over me, followed by a dash of embarrassment at my overreaction. Lylah's growl subsided, replaced by a curious whisper in my mind. “I'm sorry, my wolf can get out of control sometimes." Kieran chuckled, coming to stand b

    Chapter 18 Kaia's POV Instead of Kieran, Ryder was the one driving us to the mall. We couldn't go the previous day because he insisted that it was getting late and with the recent report of rogues attacking people, he didn't want to risk it. “We should get a pedicure and probably a spa treatment first." Allie suggested. She sat in the front seat with Ryder while Dani and I stayed at the back. “And then we can go lingerie shopping. I want to give Caleb a few surp–" Ryder's head jerked back, his eyes wide with shock and embarrassment, “can you keep that information to yourself, I definitely didn't need to hear that.” He said before turning back to face the road. Dani rolled her eyes, "no one asked you to listen.” She replied. "It'll give you an idea of what to do when you finally find your mate.” I added and Allie's head snapped to him so fast, I was afraid she'd get whiplashed. He groaned, his eyes flicking to look at me in the rearview mirror. “Come on, don't joi

    Chapter 19Kaia's POV As we entered the boutique, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed at the sight. As usual, a lot of other people were picking out what they wanted. They were a whole lot. I wouldn't even know where to start from. Allie and Dani, being more experienced, led the way, moving between the racks of delicate lace and silk. I followed closely beside them, taking in the sight of everything. “Do you know what you're looking for?" The attendant asked. Allie nodded, “we're fine." The lady nodded and left us to go attend to the group of girls who just entered. As we went further into the large boutique, Dani picked up a beautiful, red corset with black lace trims, “what do you think about this, Luna?” She asked, holding it up against me. "It's beautiful.” I replied. "But isn't it too…" I trailed off, not finding the right words to use. Allie raised an eyebrow, “try it on first and then you can decide if you want it or not.” My eyes widened in shock,

    Chapter 20 Kaia's POV I wasn't sure how long I cried for, but Kieran caressing my back calmed me down. His soft voice murmured reassurances in my ears, “It's okay baby, I'm right here." He whispered, and I nodded. His earthly and wild smell enveloped me, comforting me, like he was home. “Are you okay?" He asked after a while. I nodded. My tears had subsided and my breath had slowed down. His hand still traced circles on my back as if he was reassuring himself that I was okay. “I'm sorry I wet your shirt." I said. “It's just a shirt, it'll dry off." He replied. When I finally looked at him, concern was etched on his face and even though he was trying to smile, it was obvious he was worried. Once my crying was done, I noticed we were the only ones outside which left me wondering where they all went and as if reading my thoughts, he said, “I asked all of them to leave." “Oh." I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. He held my hand and led me through the now

    Chapter 21Kaia's POV (Matured scene…nothing serious.) Our lips met in a soft, gentle kiss. It felt like time had stopped. Kieran's lips were warm and inviting. It was better than anything I'd imagined…way better. I felt myself melting into his touch. His hand wrapped around my hair, tugging it back but not in the way that hurts. His other hand cups the back of my neck, easily holding me in place. I kiss him back and he lets out a groan, pushing his tongue past my lips when I part them for him. It slides against mine in a way that I've never experienced. He knew exactly what he was doing. I let out a loud moan…good thing no other room was beside ours. He tilted his head, deepening our kiss and I wrapped my hand around him, pulling him closer and he obliged, his body pressing against mine. He let out another growl as his hand caressed my body, stopping on my waist, sending shivers down my spine. His lips left mine, trailing kisses on my neck and sucking hard where his

    Chapter 22Kieran's POV Hearing Kaia talk about all the horrible things she went through in her former pack broke my heart, the more she spoke, I felt angry. Not at her, at the fact that I didn't find her earlier and that her father allowed her to be treated like that. I'm sure that if I was ever in a room with any of them, they wouldn't be coming out alive. But hearing her laughter gave me a sense of relief that at least she was okay and she was getting better. “I still can't believe Luna went through all of that! She's so strong.” Ryder said, snapping me out of my thoughts. No matter how much I insisted on just staying in the room and not doing anything, Kaia refused. She didn't want to leave Dani and the others to take care of the kids, so here I am, lost in thoughts and thinking about the different ways things would've gone if she'd agreed. “I've narrowed down the packs she's from to these four.” Caleb said, placing a file in front of me. I smirked, "this was exa

    Chapter 23Allie's POV I sighed as Kaia pulled away from the room and my brother, who was confused about what she was talking about. “How did you know?" I asked, crossing my hands on my chest. For the longest while, I thought I hid it well. But with her comment a few minutes ago, it was obvious I was only deceiving myself and I wasn't as sneaky as I thought. She shrugged, “I mean, it's really obvious. And except they choose to play along, I'm pretty sure everyone can see it." She replied and a loud groan escaped my lips. “But I hid it so well!" Kaia snorted, "you look at him like he stole your candy. And I would know a lot about that.” She said, a sad look flashed through her eyes and I sighed again. My crush on Ryder began the moment I knew what it meant…which was really young. But even at a young age, I found him really charming. I always thought he was good looking and kind because even as my brother's best friend, he made me feel included. Then I learnt t

    Chapter 24Kaia's POV. After seeing the look on Ryder's face, I concluded that Allie would be in a worse situation and I was right when less than ten minutes later, we found her sleeping in the pavilion. Her face was stained from crying. It must've been hard, and a part of me was curious about what might have happened to put the two of them in their present situation. “Boys can be foolish sometimes." Dani, who just returned from visiting her parents said and I nodded. “I know Ryder wants to wait for his mate, but couldn't he have rejected her in a painless way?" “Painless? There's nothing painless about rejection." “I'm sorry, Luna. I didn't mean it like that." She quickly apologized. I shook my head, “it's okay. Besides, even Ryder didn't look good." "What do you think happened?” Dani asked me, the curiosity getting the better part of her. "I don't know,” I replied. "But I'm sure she'll tell us when she's ready.” She nodded, shifting her gaze to Allie who

    Chapter 48Kaia's POV. Dani and Allie could tell something was off when I got to them but I assured them that it was because I was tired from the cooking, using the fact that it's been a while as an excuse. We called it a day and I went straight to the room where I took a shower and got ready for bed. Kieran should be back anytime soon and he would be able to provide answers to the unending questions I had. Several hours passed, but he still didn't come and mind-linking him failed. I got tired of waiting and climbed the bed but sleep eluded me like a plague, so I gave up trying and sat upright. “But if they take his position from him because of me?" The thought was heavy on my mind. “Like that'll happen." Lylah scoffed. "Do you think they'd risk replacing him with a weak Alpha?” "I know he's strong, but the elders are unpredictable. Do you think they're going to consider that if the time eventually comes?” I asked her. If there was one thing I hated about the

    Chapter 47Kaia's POV Two weeks later, I couldn't be more relieved that Kieran had Laura sent out of the pack and as much as I hated to admit, she had managed to get some of the pack members on her side while I still couldn't get them to see me in a different light. Kieran's mom also left for a while, so in a way, things were going back to how they used to be. And now that Allie was back, she hadn't stopped apologizing for the whole thing with her mom, but I assured her that it was fine. I was already happy that she didn't let it come between us. “He makes me feel like I'm on top of the world!" Allie said, "but I can't help but feel worried.” “Why?" Dani asked, “did something happen?" She shook her head, “I don't know. He hasn't really been present." She sighed, “If I didn't know any better, I would think that he's avoiding me." I scoffed, "that's not possible, he cares about you too much.” Lylah snorted, "so did you, but you ended up ignoring our mate.” "Not the

    Chapter 46 Ryder’s POV (When he finds his mate) Kaid was going crazy in my head ever since we left Allie's room a few hours ago. He didn't say anything so I assumed it was because he didn't want to leave Allie's side. I was done with the early morning patrol and was making my way to Kieran's office to give him a report. But with each step I took, a weird but delicious smell hit my nose. And Kaid was going even crazier…because that's the only way to explain his next word. “Mate…I can feel mate.” He said, and the entire world paused. "That's not possible.” I argued, but Kaid growled in response. "Find mate.” He repeated, with a sense of urgency that I couldn't ignore. “What'll happen to Allie?” Was the first question that came to my mind. “Find mate!" Kaid growled again and I pushed the thought of Allie to the back of my mind and began following the smell. I came to a stop when I reached Kieran's office where Caleb was standing in front of the door and the smell ha

    Chapter 45Kieran's Pov A smile crossed my features when I ended the mindlink with Kaia. I heard part of her protest and it was cute. If I was going to suffer, she must go through the same thing. “How's the Luna doing?" Ryder asked, coming close to where I stood. I frowned, “Why are you here?" He shrugged, “you have a weird smile on your face, and what better way to find out what the reason is and win a bet." He replied nonchalantly. “A bet?" I repeated. “Those kids never learn to not bet against me. Or how do you think I got out of patrol last week?” He asked and my frown deepened. “I'll just leave." He grumbled, going back in the same direction he came from. I shook my head as I got back to training. A lot of the teens got their wolves the previous day and it was necessary to teach them how to control it, especially with transforming. Having woken up early to start, we finished in no time and I was back in the room to take a quick shower. Kaia's smell lingere

    Chapter 44Kaia’s Pov I smiled softly at the thought of waking up beside Kieran, but the smile was quickly wiped away from my face when instead of his warm body, I felt the empty spot beside me and I frowned. “Where’s he?” I wondered. For someone who threw a tantrum because I took a bath without him, he sure doesn't learn. “I'm at the training grounds Bella, you were sleeping so peacefully, I didn't want to wake you up” Kieran's voice said through our mindlink and a smile covered my face. “Why do I forget that he could read my thoughts?” “You should have woken me up” I argued and he chuckled lightly. Just like him, I've gotten used to waking up beside him. Being with him somehow makes me forget my problems…most of the time. “I'll do that next time, Bella.” He assured me and I chuckled as I stood up and walked into our adjoining bathroom. “You better.” My voice was light. I frowned, my interaction with Laura coming to me. I didn't mention it because it felt

    Chapter 43 Kaia's POV Instead of going back to the pack’s hospital, I stayed in Kieran's arms in his office, enjoying the warmth his body provided while trying not to think too much. Kieran could tell that something was on my mind, but he just watched me without saying anything…I did say I didn't want to talk about it. “Oh," I started, sitting upright abruptly, causing Kieran to go into protective mode. “What's wrong, Bella?” He asked, his voice laced with concern. "Are you hurt?” His brows furrowed in confusion, but he still checked his body just in case there was something he was missing. I fought back a smile at how confused he looked. “I heard training was intense today and I met some people in the hospital, injured during training and then I tried mind-linking you but I didn't get a response.” "I'm sorry you were worried.” He apologized, pulling me into his arms again and I didn't fight it. "You know what will make me feel better?” I asked. His eyes n

    Chapter 42Kaia's POV After Kieran's conversation with his mom, things got worse. And it didn't help that a few members of the pack heard about it, so they sometimes glared at me without saying anything. Dani also tried her best to assure me that with time, she'd come around but I'm sure even she didn't believe that. But now, I focused on ignoring everywhere that she might go. I couldn't exactly talk to Allie, it was her mom we're talking about and the last thing I wanted was for her to hate me too. “Allie isn't like that." Lylah assured me. I sighed, "I know. I hate that Kieran is going against his mom because of me.” My mom wasn't here, but I know how much I would give to make sure she was happy. "Would you have left your mate if she wanted you to?” Lylah aaked, and a look of horror crossed my features. “Of course not,” I replied, offended that she'd even think that. "Exactly, then why are you worried about our mate leaving us because his mother chose to be an

    Chapter 41 Ryder’s POV -(To show you his view on his relationship with Allie) I have never been so confused…maybe I have, but this was just over the top. I wanted a mate, one that the moon goddess prepared for me. I wanted something like what Caleb and Dani shared and even Kieran. But at the same time, there was no denying the attraction I felt towards Allie. And for the longest time, trying to ignore felt like a waste of time especially when she felt the same way. Before she clocked eighteen, that was two years ago, I hoped she was going to mine. That hole was crushed when my wolf didn't recognize her as ours…even Kaid was disappointed. But one thing led to the other that night and ever since then, a part of me couldn't stop thinking about her, misses her when she wasn't close. “What are you thinking hard about?" Caleb asked, jolting me back to reality. “Taking over your position." He snorted, “if you weren't so lazy, I'll believe that?" He said. “I'm offended." I

But all of sudden, she couldn't stand the sight of me. My heart felt tight and King had been very quiet since she started ignoring us, we were even blocked out of her mind. “..Alpha?” I heard someone call and I snapped out of my haze to stare at my beta and gamma who took a glance at me and back to each other. I definitely didn't sleep well and now, I am lost in thoughts. “What?” I asked harshly and they gulped, I considered apologizing for my tone but I was feeling too hurt and preoccupied by thoughts of kaia to even think of doing anything else. “We have to go train with the new recruits, Alpha” And with that, they both left me in the office alone and I felt the wheels in my head turn. What recruits? Recruiting of new warriors was not till a month from now. I didn't care to think much about it because my mind soon went
